Description
Multifactor authentication is defined as using two or more factors to achieve authentication. Factors include: (i) something you know (e.g., password/PIN); (ii) something you have (e.g., cryptographic identification device, or token); or (iii) something you are (e.g., biometric). A privileged account is defined as an operating system account with authorizations of a privileged user. Network access is defined as access to an operating system by a user (or a process acting on behalf of a user) communicating through a network.
